This match was the first come back fight of 36-years Thai former world champion after he lost PABA title last year. Ratanapol sent J-boxer, Komatsu, to the canvas by his left hook at 55 seconds of the first round. Komatsu resumed fighting quickly, but Ratanapol landed his very big shots to punish him and force the Japanese referee to stop this fight at 2:16 minutes of the first assult.

Ratanapol is planning to challenge the Vacant PABA or WBC Asia (formerly ABCO) titles in June. But he also have a scheduled to make his the second return game on April 7 in Thailand.
